| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of Congo issued a series of silver sports-themed commemoratives around 2000, largely marketed through European numismatic distributors rather than circulated domestically. These were produced primarily for collector export, a revenue strategy common among smaller nations with limited hard currency reserves during that period.
KM#49 is part of that broader program. Mintages were modest and controlled by the distributor agreements rather than the issuing authority.
